There have been recent reports that the rise in Tinder’s popularity has led to an increase in the spread of STDs.

However, Tinder responded to this alleged correlation in a statement to Reuters:

“While the CDC, [which] conducted the largest and most credible study on the topic, has never identified any connection that supports the idea that Tinder usage correlates with, let alone causes, an increase in STDs, we’re of course in favour of organisations that provide public education resources on the topic.”

It’s not yet clear whether Tinder plans to integrate any STD clinic locator features in the actual app.
